Google Maps reviews of this place
Reviews posted by visitors on Google Maps.
El Palacio de San Benito es de estilo neoclásico. Allí funciona El Parlamento Portugués desde 1834. Detrás, en el mismo predio, se encuentra la residencia del Primer Ministro. Fue construido a finales del siglo XVI como monasterio benedictino. Fueron tantas las remodelaciones que, prácticamente, queda muy poco del original. MAJESTUOSO!!!!!
Es un edificio impresionante, por detrás está la residencia del primer ministro. Sin embargo no se podía visitar el día que fui debido a que esperaban una visita de alguna persona con cargo ministerial.
Edificio impresionante de obligada visita en la capital de Portugal.
